Low resolution video stream here currently: http://tourofmissouritracker.com/
Universalsports is supposed to have higher resolution video for last 2 hours of race. The relay plane is not up until then.
CyclingNews has a live ticker at: http://live.cyclingnews.com/
Stage information from the official website:
Stage 1 – St. Louis, circuit race, 75 miles (120.7 km)
A new kickoff point for the third Tour of Missouri will be a showcase of St. Louis on Labor Day Weekend. While the terrain is relatively easy, the course is fast and technical, which will make things interesting from the start. Everyone will have fresh legs and a shot at the first yellow jersey of the tour, making this opening day an exciting one.

The announcer seems to like Columbia...
“Team Columbia… H! T! C! What a beautiful sight!”

Dave Towle. He gets very excited easily. Kinda annoying in real life.
by ZoeRochelle on Sep 7, 2009 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If he keeps this level of excitement the next couple of hours I'm gonna be impressed
I’m sure that not even Moises Aldapes wife is so excited to see him as that Towle guy is.

LOL. Remember the vidoe production here is still in the dark ages but slowly evolving.
We still get the occasional ground shot and portapotty.

Vaitkus, Aldapa Sanchez and Anker Sorenson in a break that seems to be about to get caught.

The tracker is way off, isn't it?
They’ve done 4 laps now I think.

I think the announcer is wrong.
CN has:
First KOM results are:
1 Chris Anker Sorensen (Team Saxo Bank)
2 Moises Aldape Chavez (Team Type 1)
3 Tomas Vaitkus (Astana)
4 David Veilleux (Kelly Benefit Strategies)
5 Andy Jacques-Maynes (Bissell Pro Cycling)
The break is approaching the end of lap four and there’s 10 laps so…

The KOM was at 43,1 km

They’re interrupting the show by switching to some damn cycle commuters every now and then.

It was just a bad joke, the commuters were supposed to be the riders in the breakaway.

Horner – more than one
Armstrong – collarbone

Hincapie – collarbone
Who didnt?

Did they show the Danish flag next to Vaitkus name? Whatever it was, it was definitely not the Lithuanian flag.

everytime they put up the flags they are changed.

It's the British for Vaitkus now
As Civetta hinted above. I’m pretty sure it was the Danish flag earlier.

Someody else who has the titter of Evans

what don't you get?
he’s answering people… he does that
by civetta on Sep 7, 2009 5:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But does the twitterer decide which twits are on 'his' page?
by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
On his page are only messages from him. In some of them, he quotes what other people wrote to him (“RT” = re-tweet).
by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
everything that that you see on his page
is stuff he’s sent… if it says RT @someoneorother, then he’s re-sending/commenting on something someone else has said to him.
Really, it’s easier to give in & sign up…
by civetta on Sep 7, 2009 6:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yes. You have to "follow" someone to see their tweets on your page.
Or you can click on your “mentions” and it shows you everyone that used your username.
by ZoeRochelle on Sep 7, 2009 6:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok.. I'm a slow learner..
Nice to some see it like it is: RT This is evans?
@erwindewit: @CadelOfficial i am in shame to be a Dutch today :-( What was Geesink thinking
From someone else? And what is the @?
about 1 hour ago from TwitterFon
Ok sorry you also have a race to follow
by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 6:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes that was from Evans
He re-posted for all of us to see what a guy named ‘erwindewit’ wrote to him and added some commentary of his own (“Nice to some see it like it is”). The @-sign is pronounced ‘at’ (to, directed at), used to reply to other users. If you write @foobar it automatically becomes a link to the Twitter page of user ‘foobar.’

Aah.. I think I've got it. Thanks as always! Teddeomniscient!

Another question.. If I look on your profile(?) I see
RT @CadelOfficial: @Frankster1967 ‘Watch Gesink’ – wish I’d got this tweet before the stage!!!!
about 1 hour ago from Tweetie
Why is that on your screen?
by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ted was just retweeting Cadel's tweet.
Meaning Ted repeated the tweet that someone else had already tweeted.
by ZoeRochelle on Sep 7, 2009 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Thanks both! I think I understand it.. Or half of it!
Next step is going to use it but that is a long shot.. For now
by Frinking on Sep 7, 2009 6:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's the easiest part:
Just sign up for an account and start following people (go to their page and click ‘Follow’). You will get their tweets all on one page without doing anything else.
by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because I sent it out
I re-tweeted what Evans replied to ‘Frankster1967’ because I thought it was kind of funny and wanted to share with my audience (heh). Replies to other users (like this one from Evans to Frankster) don’t show up on other users’ screens unless they are following both, so despite it being a public reply (you can see it on Evans’ page if you go there) it’s still a bit hidden. Just a way to get it out there.
by tedvdw on Sep 7, 2009 6:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
To view everything that other people wrote to him,
you have to use the search function: clicky here.
